Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

“You have to ask me if you want to talk about the ancient Wilderness. No matter what, it can’t be compared to what we saw and heard with our own eyes!”

When Zhurong mentioned the history of the ancient wilderness, its expression was completely different from usual.

“The conflict between the Heavenly God and the Twin Water Gods lasted especially long. The reason was simple. At that time, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy conferred titles of gods to the beasts that reached the peak, allowing them to obtain territory and divide the Divine Realm. However, the two Water Gods appeared. They seemed to be brothers. Hence, they combined the Divine Realms into one and almost occupied the entire Wilderness. It was much larger than the Sun Celestial Heavens that first appeared. However, their Spiritual Energy resources were far inferior to the Sun Celestial Heavens, so there was a conflict.”

If it was usually a little impatient when talking to Ye Chen, it was much more lively now that it was gossiping.

“What’s with the Spiritual Energy resources?” Ye Chen asked. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

“It’s the current Five Great Spiritual Energy. The fire, earth, and metal Spiritual Energy resources of the Sun Celestial Heavens are all stronger than those of the Deep Sea Palace. Moreover, the mutated beasts that were raised there are powerful. If there’s any friction between the mutated beasts of the two sides, the mutated beasts under the protection of the Twin Water Gods will be chased and beaten by the mutated beasts of the Heavenly God. Who wouldn’t be angry?” Zhurong replied.

Ye Chen nodded. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

The Spiritual Energy of the three attributes of fire, earth, and metal had a relatively high increase in the combat strength of mutated beasts. If he obtained the Sun Celestial Heavens as the Divine Realm, he would definitely be overjoyed.

However, there was another problem.

“Does the Deep Sea Palace have wind-type Spiritual Energy resources?” He asked.

“No. Other than in the hands of the Wind God, wind-type resources are Spiritual Energy resources that can’t be used at all times. Moreover, they have always been in places outside the two Divine Realms,” Zhurong replied. “The Wind God actually appeared earlier than the Twin Water Gods, but it obtained the deity position after the Twin Water Gods because it wasn’t strong enough. However, the Twin Water Gods don’t have a good relationship with the Heavenly God, so there has to be a mediator.”

“Doesn’t that mean that the Wind God picked up a deity position for nothing?” Ye Chen was a little jealous.

“I guess so. In fact, he didn’t do anything. He only obtained a Divine Realm that was separated from the Sun Celestial Heavens and the Deep Sea Palace. If any mutated beast from either side entered his Divine Realm, he would have the ability to control it at any time. Although his own ability couldn’t compare to the other three gods at that time, he was the only one who could mobilize the Wind Spiritual Energy. the mutated beasts couldn’t do anything to him after he obtained the deity position.” Zhurong thought for a moment and added, “However, because of this, his relationship with the Heavenly God wasn’t good.”

......

Ye Chen understood. “Because most of the beasts in the Sun Celestial Heavens are bird-type mutated beasts, right?”

“That’s right. It was a complete joke to make bird-type mutated beasts not fly out of the Sun Celestial Heavens. Everyone often came down to hunt.” Zhurong confirmed Ye Chen’s guess. “As a result, the mutated beasts in the Sun Celestial Heavens were often protested by the Deep Sea Palace because of the hunting. The Wind God could only chase them away. As time passed, the Heavenly God thought that he was biased towards the Twin Water Gods and wasn’t a qualified mediator, causing his relationship with the Wind God to worsen.”

“So, he killed the Wind God?” Ye Chen asked.

“Although there are only such rumors, this is already everyone’s consensus,” Zhurong replied. “The Wind God had no descendants. He disappeared after a meeting with the Heavenly God. After that, the Wind Spiritual Energy disappeared from between the Sun Celestial Heavens and the Deep Sea Palace. Instead, it was sensed that it had always been underwater. Of course, the Twin Water Gods never admitted it. After about 200 years, the first mutated beast war broke out as the relationship between the two Divine Realms worsened. The Wind God didn’t appear. Only then did everyone confirm that he was dead.”

Ye Chen sighed. “He died for no reason. How did you determine that the underground wind vein has something to do with it?” He asked.

The system notification remained silent until now, indicating that what Zhurong said was indeed the truth. However, this was already far from their initial topic, so he has no choice but to bring the topic back.

“Of course I have my reasons, but you have to hear me out!” Zhurong immediately retorted indignantly. “It would be strange if the underground wind vein has nothing to do with the Wind God!”

As it spoke, it took two steps forward and followed Ye Chen’s footsteps as he patrolled the fire array.

“After the war ended, the Sun Celestial Heavens and the Deep Sea Palace entered a period of truce. At that time, the first Primitive Continent was formed, which was later the East Continent. Some of the places where the Wind Spiritual Energy was sensed were above the water surface. Only then did my kind explore them. However, there was another reason. There Fire Spiritual Energy underground gradually becomes dense. We thought that our companions were trapped in West Xia. At first, we thought that the Wind God’s corpse was very likely buried below. However, after exploring, we only found a wind vein that could automatically repair itself. Moreover, there were strange things underground.”

As it spoke, it lowered its voice a little. “We found the Earth Fire. It’s the source of the Fire Spiritual Energy. It appeared around the wind vein and then spread to other places, including the area at the bottom of the sea.”

“Isn’t this normal?” Ye Chen asked.

According to the phenomenon in his previous world, it was normal for lava to appear at the bottom of the sea.

However, Zhurong’s answer was very certain.

“It’s definitely not normal.” It replied, “Before that, the Fire Spiritual Energy only appeared in the Sun Celestial Heavens. It has never changed.”

It looked at Ye Chen. “Isn’t this enough for me to suspect that the Heavenly God killed the Wind God?”

Ye Chen nodded.

“It’s really very likely now that you mention it. Moreover, the explosive Dragon Claw Grass has the highest amount of Wind Spiritual Energy, but it exploded when it touched fire. I feel that it matches this Wind God’s story. It’s reasonable for it to have such a reaction if it was hidden under the water after being killed by the Heavenly God. I think…”

Before he could finish speaking, a system notification popped up.

Ye Chen, who saw this notification, suddenly fell silent. Then, he muttered, “Are you kidding me?”

The system ignored him immediately this time. Instead, Zhurong looked over unhappily when it heard his whisper. “Did I say something wrong?” It asked unhappily.

“No, I’m not talking about you…” Ye Chen quickly waved his hand.

The other party nodded in understanding. “I know. It’s your ability to see information, right?” It leaned over. “You inherited this ability from the Titan God, right? What did it tell you?”

Ye Chen glanced at the notification panel that was still in front of him.

[Incorrect. I’m the one who hid the body.]
